Chapter 1192 - Selena (6)
"Don't you dare turn me down," Selena threatened. "Or else I could die." The girl could see the wrinkles between Xander's eyebrows and laughed inwardly because she had made the man feel cornered.
But then, everything that Selena did was to get this man. Well, they were meant to be a couple, so they should be together, right?
"Don't you think your moon goddess is so cruel?" Xander couldn't understand this concept.
"No," Selena answered quickly. "Because I was able to meet you, so it didn't have anything to do with being cruel."
And again, Xander saw the look of enthusiasm in the girl's blue eyes, which seemed to make him feel much better.
The confidence, cheerfulness and positive aura that radiated from within this girl really made Xander feel like being around this girl, as if he could illuminate the empty and dark parts of him.
However, Xander didn't let that thought get to him and preferred to break eye contact with the girl, albeit reluctantly.
"Xander…" Selena called, but before she could finish her sentence, a distant noise could be heard which made them both turn to see what was going on.
And their auditory sensors led them to turn toward the party, where they saw people running about in all directions, trying to save themselves, and then there was the sound of gunshots being fired in succession.
"What happened?" Selena muttered, not understanding.
And before Selena could get her answer, Xander had grabbed the girl's hand, forcing her to stand up immediately.
"We have to get out of here," Xander said with his jaw clenched tightly and immediately led Selena to run to a safer place.
Luckily they were far from where the party was taking place, otherwise, it was inevitable that they wouldn't have much time to escape.
Selena, who was still confused by the situation they were in, didn't seem to mind at all when Xander pulled her away.
Wherever Xander took her, Selena would go with the man without raising any complaints. And also, the sound of gunshots that could be heard in the distance was not something scary for her.
"Put this on," Xander said, handing Selena his helmet.
Selena took the helmet and put it on immediately, instantly, Xander's signature scent flooded her sense of smell and she felt much better. She greedily tried to breath in the scent and was delighted.
It was just that Xander who saw Selena smiling to herself felt a little annoyed that the girl didn't button her helmet.
Therefore, he pulled Selena closer and secured the helmet, by buttoning the hook that was around her neck. "You are not supposed to forget to do this."
"Oh, okay," Selena replied lightly.
Xander slightly frowned when he saw that Selena didn't show any fear at all.
"You're not afraid of this at all?" Xander asked as he got on his motorbike, while Selena swiftly climbed behind him.
"Not at all," Selena answered quickly.
"You really are a weird girl," Xander mumbled, but Selena could hear it clearly and started laughing.
"If your definition of weird is me being nothing like a normal human, then I'm weird. But aren't you too? And I don't think that's a bad thing."
A small smile curved at the corner of Xander's lips, because this was the first time he'd heard anyone say such a thing.
It seemed, seeing this world from Selena's point of view was not that bad after all. Actually, it was quite interesting.
==================
"Where is this place?" Selena asked, trying to unhook the helmet around her jaw, but for some reason it was so hard to do.
Seeing this, Xander could only help her. He unlatched it while looking at Selena with gentle eyes.
"Wait here, I'll be right back," Xander muttered, after he managed to remove the helmet that was on Selena's head and messed up her long black hair.
In front of them, there was a two-storey house whose yard had been filled with various types of racing motorbikes, while it looked very crowded inside the house.
Selena was sure that this wasn't Xander's house, it seemed her partner took her to one of his biker friends' houses.
"You know what, just come with me," Xander said after he thought for a while. He couldn't just leave Selena outside like this when he didn't know how long he would be in there.
Xander was supposed to take Selena home first, but since he got a call earlier, he had to come here first.
"Okay," Selena answered lightly, she then slipped her fingers between Xander's, holding his hand.
"What is this?" Xander asked, raising their intertwined hands.
"Holding hands," Selena answered innocently. "You've never held hands before?"
Xander felt that he should take back his words, thinking that this girl was fun. No, she could be really annoying. "I know. What I mean is, why are you holding hands with me?"
After saying that, Xander let go of Selena's hand and put both of his hands into the pockets of his jacket.
"Then?" Selena asked, disappointed that Xander let go of her hand. "Would you rather I hug you?"
"Don't do anything," Xander said fiercely as he stepped onto the terrace of the house, leaving the still sullen Selena walking slowly behind him.
However, the man was patient enough to wait for Selena, holding the door open, letting the girl in first.
As soon as they were inside, the once crowded room, filled with mostly men and only a few women, instantly became silent. All pairs of eyes in the room stared at Xander.
Those eyes seemed to question; who was that woman with Xander?
Xander ignored them, he naturally took Selena's hand and sat her on a chair in the corner of the room and took a bottle of mineral water there.
He then ordered in a very firm tone and stressed every word to make it clearer.
"Only drink from this bottle," he said as he handed Selena a bottle that was still sealed. "Don't drink anything or eat anything they give you, understand? And don't talk to anyone."
"What if they talk to me?" she asked.
"Ignore them."
"Okay."
And once again Xander confirmed. "Don't drink anything or eat whatever they give you, no matter how much they force you."
After seeing Selena nod, Xander walked up to a man and spoke to him while pointing at Selena.
